Johannesburg has several reputable hospitals that support natural birth. However, not all maternity wards follow low-intervention practices. At PMB Care, we help expecting mothers identify hospitals and maternity units that align with natural birthing values.
What to look for in a natural-birth-friendly hospital:
- Private labor suites encouraging mobility and comfort.
- Midwife-led delivery options.
- Minimal routine interventions (no unnecessary inductions or C-sections).
- Immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth.
- Baby rooming-in instead of nursery separation.
While PMB Care primarily supports home and midwife-assisted births, we maintain referral relationships with Johannesburg hospitals that honor natural birth choices. Should complications arise, our team ensures a smooth hospital transfer while preserving your birthing preferences.
Partner hospitals and facilities:
